Bass Bug,
May I suggest that you give Curling a try then make a judgment decision on that sport?
I know I would fail miserably at it, when the person drops down to finish the push off my legs would be going into a spasm or Charlie Horse like you wouldn't believe. That would not be very pretty.
Many sports are like that (tennis anyone, or maybe baseball?). If you are not 'into' the sport then it seems rather uninteresting.
Back in good old Scotland and other areas of the English Isles, what else is there to do during a long cold winter? Drink and play and you could only play during the day which leaves drinking.
